Agile Process & Methodologies It is a theoretical framework that promotes foreseen interactions throughout the development cycle. There are several SDLC models like SPIRAL, WATERFALL, RAD which has their own advantages. JAINUL 8

Agile Process & Methodologies The SDLC activities such as planning, analysis, design, coding, testing and maintenance which need to be performed according to the demand of the customer. JAINUL 9

Agile Process & Methodologies Agile process is itself a software development process. Agile process is an iterative approach in which customer satisfaction is at highest priority as the customer has direct involvement in evaluating the software. JAINUL 10

Agile Process & Methodologies Characteristics of Agile Projects  Less planning and  Divides the tasks into small increments  Meant for short term projects  with an effort of team work JAINUL 13

Agile Process & Methodologies The JAINUL involvement of software team management with customers reduces the risks associated with the software. This agile process is an iterative process in which changes can be made according to the customers satisfaction. In agile process new features can be added easily by using multiple iterations. 14

Agile Process & Methodologies 1) 2) JAINUL Iterative: The main objective of agile software processes is satisfaction of customers, so it focuses on single requirement with multiple iterations. Modularity: Agile process decomposes the complete system into manageable pieces called modules. Modularity plays a major role in software development processes. 15

Agile Process & Methodologies 3) 4) JAINUL Time Boxing: As agile process is iterative in nature, it requires the time limits on each module with respective cycle. Parsimony: In agile processes parsimony is required to mitigate risks and achieve the goals by minimal number of modules. 16

Agile Process & Methodologies 5) 6) JAINUL Incremental: iterative in nature, each increment is independent of others, and at last all increments are integrated into complete system. Adaptive: The adaptive characteristics of agile process allows adapting the processes to attack the new risks and allows changes in the real time requirements. 17

Agile Process & Methodologies 7) 8) JAINUL Convergent: All the risks associated with each increment are convergent in agile process by using iterative and incremental approach. Collaborative: As agile process is modular in nature, different modules need to be integrated at the end of the software development process. 18

Agile Process & Methodologies 9) JAINUL People Oriented: In the agile processes customer satisfaction is the first priority over the technology and process. A good software development team increases the performance and productivity of the software. 19

Agile Process & Methodologies Extreme Programming (XP) XP divides the entire software development life cycle into several number of short development cycles. XP welcomes and incorporates changes or requirements from the customers at any phase of the development life cycle. JAINUL 22

Agile Process & Methodologies Extreme Programming (XP) starts with collecting user requirements. JAINUL Depending on the requirements, whole development process is divided into several small no of cycles. Next phase is iteration planning i.e. deciding the number of cycles, prioritizing the requirements and estimating the amount of effort required to implement each cycle. 24

Agile Process & Methodologies Extreme Programming (XP) Now each iteration is developed using pair programming. During the development phase new user requirements may come and the iteration plan should be adjusted according to that. Next step is to test the latest developed version for bugs, if detected; the bugs will be removed in the next iteration. JAINUL 25

Agile Process & Methodologies Extreme Programming (XP) After every acceptance testing project tracing should be done in which feedback is taken from the project that how much job has already been done. XP has introduced many new things for developers like pair programming, extensive code review, code refactoring and open workspace. JAINUL 26

Agile Process & Methodologies SCRUM Scrum is another popular method of agile development through which productivity becomes very high. Scrum is basically based on incremental software development process. JAINUL 27

Agile Process & Methodologies SCRUM In Scrum method the entire development cycle is divided into a series of iteration where each iteration is called as a sprint. Maximum duration of a sprint is 30 days. JAINUL 28

Agile Process & Methodologies Agile process using SCRUM JAINUL 29

Agile Process & Methodologies SCRUM The method starts with collecting user requirements but it is not expected that all the requirements should come out from the user at the beginning. User can change their mind at any time during development; they can add new features, remove or update some existing features. JAINUL 30

Agile Process & Methodologies SCRUM Next phase is to prioritize the requirements and the list is known as product backlog. A proper planning for sprint should be done i.e. how many sprints are needed to develop the software, duration of the sprint, and what are the requirements from the product backlog should be implemented in each sprint. JAINUL 31

Agile Process & Methodologies SCRUM This particular list is known as sprint backlog. During each sprint one sprint meeting is held every day to take the feedback how much work has been done. After each sprint we get a working increment of the software JAINUL 32

Agile Process & Methodologies Feature Driven Development (FDD) FDD is one of the agile development methods. The key advantage of this method is to design the domain of the software to be produced before development. JAINUL 33

Agile Process & Methodologies Feature Driven Development (FDD) Starts with collecting the requirements from the users and building up the overall model of the project. Gives the clear idea about the scope of the software. Next step is to make a list of features which are the client-valued functions. JAINUL 35

Agile Process & Methodologies Feature Driven Development (FDD) For example: 'Authenticate the password', ‘Calculate the salary for each employee', ‘Calculate the income-tax for each employee'. Several groups are made based on their domains i.e. related features are combined into a single group. JAINUL 36

Agile Process & Methodologies Feature Driven Development (FDD) JAINUL Next step is to make a plan for developing the features. Each group of features is assigned to a development team which is headed by one chief programmer. Last step is modeling iteration in which first UML modeling is done for each feature and then developing that particular feature. This step continues unless all the features get implemented successfully. 37

Agile Process & Methodologies ADVANTAGES 1) JAINUL Adaptive to the changing environment: In agile software development method, software is developed over several iterations. Each iteration is characterized by analysis, design, implementation and testing. 38

Agile Process & Methodologies ADVANTAGES After each iteration the mini project is delivered to the customer for their use and feedback. Any changes that upgrade the software we welcome from the customer at any stage of development and that changes are implemented. JAINUL 39

Agile Process & Methodologies ADVANTAGES 2) Ensures customer satisfaction: This methodology requires active customer involvement throughout the development. At the end what we get as the final product is of high quality and its ensures the customer satisfaction as the entire software is developed based on the requirements taken from customer. JAINUL 40

Agile Process & Methodologies ADVANTAGES 3) Least documentation: JAINUL The documentation is short and to the point by agile team. Don't make documentation on internal design of the software. The documentation are product features list, duration for each iteration and date. It saves time of development and deliver the project in least possible time. 41

Agile Process & Methodologies ADVANTAGES 4) Reduces risks of development: As the incremented mini software is delivered to the customers after every short development cycle and feedbacks are taken, it warns developers about the upcoming problems which many occur at the later stages of development. It also helps to discover errors quickly and they are fixed immediately. JAINUL 42

Agile Process & Methodologies DISADVANTAGES 1) Customer interaction is the key factor: It is based on customer involvement because the entire project is developed according to the requirements given by the customers. So if the customer representative is not clear about the product features, the development process will go out of the track. JAINUL 43

Agile Process & Methodologies DISADVANTAGES 2) Lack of documentation: Least documentation saves development time, on the other side its is a big disadvantage for developer. JAINUL 44

Agile Process & Methodologies DISADVANTAGES JAINUL 2) Lack of documentation: Internal design is getting changed frequently depending on user requirements after every iteration, Difficult to maintain the detail documentation of design and implementation. So less available information, is very difficult for the new developers joined the team to understand the actual method to develop the software. 45

Agile Process & Methodologies DISADVANTAGES JAINUL 3) Time consuming and wastage of resources because of constant change of requirements: If the customers are not satisfied by the partial software developed by certain iteration and they change their requirements then that incremented part is of no use. So it is the total wastage of time, effort and resources required to develop that increment. 46

Agile Process & Methodologies DISADVANTAGES JAINUL 4) More helpful management than developer: The agile methodology helps management to take decisions about the software development, set goals for developers and fix the deadline for them. But it is very difficult for the baseline developers to cope up with the ever changing environment and every time changing the design, code based on just in time requirements. 47
